The first step in utilizing your education benefits is to find out if you are eligible to receive education benefits through the VA. Many veterans and active duty personnel can qualify for more than one education benefits program, including those listed below. Your first steps should be visiting the VA website. Additional information is available on the NYU Financial Aid website as well.

Depending on your individual circumstances, one of these programs may give you better benefits than the others. While you are the only person who can choose which program meets your needs, we have developed a step-by-step process that may help you compare the different education programs and decide which is best for you.

Upon meeting the requirements for the Department of Veterans Affairs, the applicant will receive a Certificate of Eligibility Letter.&nbsp; If you are a 'new' student transferring to NYU from another institution, you will need to complete the VA Form 22-1905.This document along with the DD 214 (discharge papers) must be presented to the Office of the University Registrar, 25 West Fourth Street, 1st Floor, after being accepted into NYU and before registering for course work.
